This article from the German predecessor of Forward in Christ appeared on September 1, 1868. In it the editor replies to requests he has received either to include more world affairs in the magazine or to quit “quarreling too much.” He stresses the importance of standing firm in the Bible's teaching out of love for both God and his people.

This article is part of a series about C.F.W. Walther which was published in Lehre und Wehre. It's chief focus is on Walther's steady teaching of the doctrine of justification. In a sense, the article is more about the glorious doctrine of justification by faith through Christ than it is about Walther.
